Using a schematic diagram, summarize the following steps in preparing competent cells for transformation: Inoculate a single colony of E. coli into 5 ml LB broth and incubate overnight at 37°C with moderate shaking (250 rpm). Add 200 μl of the culture into 50 ml LB broth and incubate overnight at 37°C with moderate shaking (250 rpm) to an OD600 = 1.3 to 1.5. Aliquot culture into five 15-ml pre-chilled, conical tubes. Leave tube on ice 5 to 10 min. Centrifuge cells 7 min at 1,600 × g (3,000 rpm), 4°C. Pour off supernatant and resuspend each pellet in 10 ml ice-cold CaCl2 solution (50 mM CaCl2), perform resuspension very gently, and keep on ice. Centrifuge cells 5 min at 1,100 × g (2,500 rpm), 4°C. Discard supernatant and resuspend each pellet in 10 ml ice-cold CaCl2 solution. Keep resuspended on ice for 30 min. Centrifuge cells 5 min at 1,100 × g, 4°C.

The highly pathogenic anaerobic bacterium Clostridium perfringens is responsible for gas gangrene, a condition in which animal tissue structure is destroyed. This bacterium secretes an enzyme that efficiently catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bond indicated in red: where X and Y are any of the 20 common amino acids. How does the secretion of this enzyme contribute to the invasiveness of this bacterium in human tissues? Why does thisenzyme not affect the bacterium itself?
Experiment #1 From Antoinette de Senna’s Master’s thesis on ‘Screening of biological control organisms for the management of phytopathogenic fungi and foodborne pathogens on produce’. Objective: To screen three LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus acidilactici, and Pediococcus pentosaceus) for antimicrobial activity against the foodborne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli. Methods: 1 ml of the pathogen was placed into a petri dish. Then, 15-20 ml molten tryptic soy agar (TSA) tempered to 50°C was added. When the TSA solidified, a loopful of LAB was spotted onto the agar. Plates were incubated at 35°C for 24 hours then the zone of inhibition was measured from the boarder of the bacterial colony to the perimeter of the clearing. Results: Questions: What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? Suggest a control for this experiment? What is the optimal temperature range for Listeria monocyogenes? Is monocyogenes a…

t /g = (Log Nt – Log N0) /0.301 I introduce a loopful of Escherichia coli cells (say, 1000) into 10 mL of Nutrient Broth at 8 p.m. the night before your lab. The cells were taken from a culture plate (Nutrient Agar) held at 37°C, and inoculated into broth at the same temperature. They were held at 37°C overnight in a shaking water bath. At what time would the culture reach the Stationary Phase? Recall that doubling time under optimal conditions (these are) is 20 minutes. A growing bacterial culture has 10,000 CFU/mL at noon and 10,000,000 CFU/mL at 6 p.m. What is the generation time under these conditions? What are your assumptions? At midnight you inoculate 10 mL of a culture of Enterococcus with 103 cells/mL into 990 mL of the same medium, held under the same conditions as the original culture. At what time would the culture reach 107 cells/mL? Assume exponential growth over the period. Assume that g=half an hour. Note: We worked a different variant of this problem in…
How long does it take for E. coli to go from lag phase at time 0 to log phase to stationary phase to death phase? Can you point me to a citable source of this time period? I can't find anything online. Thank you.
In the context of flow cytometry data: It is clear that Lactobacillus cells can be detected based on their FSC (forward scatter) and SSC (side scatter) signal since it is above the noise. Thus, they could be quantified using these parameters without staining. Give two reasons as to why anyone would bother SYBRGreen (SG) staining samples that contain heterotrophs?
